Scranton/Wilkes Barre RailRiders no-hitter history

Pitchers Brendan Beck and Carson Coleman made Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders history when they combined to no-hit the Syracuse Mets, 4-0, on June 5th at NBT Bank Stadium in upstate New York. Beck, the New York Yankees’ No. 21 prospect who made his MLB debut on May 7th, went seven innings, walked three and struck out six. […]

New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox: Cam Schlittler vs. Ranger Suárez

Despite not actually playing a game yesterday, there was still a flurry of activity around the Yankees, with catcher Austin Wells moved to the IL and recent Triple-A optionee J.C. Escarra brought back up as his replacement. The intrigue continues in today’s contest with the Red Sox, as we’ll see if Cam Schlittler is able […]

Yankees Social Media Spotlight: Go New York Go New York Go

It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! Since we met last week, we have been hit with a barrage of bad news, as superstar right fielder Aaron Judge hit the injured list with a stress fracture in the rib that he has apparently […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Thurman Munson

On April 17, 1976, the Yankees made an announcement unlike any they’d made in over 40 years. For the first time since Lou Gehrig received the honor in 1935, the Bronx Bombers had a new captain. He was a man manager Billy Martin, known more for his temperamental clashing with players than his effusive praise […]

Yankees prospects: Peralta knocks in six with two big blasts

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 0-5 at Syracuse Mets SS George Lombard Jr. 1-4, 2 K, 1 SBRF Oswaldo Cabrera 2-4, 1 KDH Yanquiel Fernández 0-4, 1 K3B Tyler Hardman 1-3, 1 BB, 1 K, throwing error1B Seth Brown 0-4, 2 K2B Jonathan Ornelas 1-4, 1 KLF Ernesto Martinez Jr. 1-3, 1 2B, 1 KCF Kenedy […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 6/7/26

The weather decided not to cooperate with the Yankees last night, as the rain would’ve had the team waiting around until well after 10 p.m. to start Saturday’s scheduled game. With a matinee on deck today, that timeline was deemed too brutal to wait things out, and thus we have another two-game set with a […]

Yankees news: Benny Backstop? Don’t count on it

ESPN | Jorge Castillo: Perhaps unsurprisingly, one of the first questions to arise in the wake of Austin Wells’ surprise IL trip pertained to whether the Yankees’ best healthy hitter could help take up some slack at catcher. While Aaron Boone did not shut the door on Ben Rice donning the tools of ignorance, he […]

Yankees and Red Sox postponed; makeup scheduled for late August

A seemingly minor delay turned into a postponement on Saturday night, as the Yankees and Red Sox won’t be taking the field. They have instead rescheduled this game for August 29th—another Saturday—in which these two clubs will play a doubleheader with the first game taking place at 1:05 p.m. According to a press release from […]

Yankees catcher Austin Wells placed on IL; J.C. Escarra recalled

In a surprising move, the Yankees placed Austin Wells on the injured list just ahead of Saturday’s soon-to-be-postponed with the Boston Red Sox. To replace Wells, the choice to fill in as the backup catcher is J.C. Escarra, returning to the big league club one day after getting sent down in favor of righty-hitting Ali […]

Yankees, Red Sox in rain delay on Saturday night

The Yankees are in a bit of an odd state heading into play on Saturday against the Red Sox at Yankee Stadium. They already know that they’re going to be without Aaron Judge for at least the better part of two months (if not more) due to a stress fracture in his rib. They’ve lost […]

New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox: Will Warren vs. Ranger Suárez

Will Warren versus Ranger Suárez represents the perfect pitching matchup to highlight the difference between these two teams in the success of developing starting pitchers in-house. While the Red Sox felt compelled to go outside the organization and spend big on a mid-level starter—in other words, someone who wasn’t necessarily signed to anchor the rotation—the […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Bill Dickey

By any measure, Bill Dickey is an all-time great in both Yankees’ and baseball history. He was an 11-time All-Star, helping the Yankees to eight World Series titles, and was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. However, he doesn’t quite get the recognition that you might expect someone with those accolades to get. That’s […]

Yankees Sequence of the Week: Carlos Rodón (6/4)

The Yankees eked out a win on Thursday to avoid being swept by the Guardians, largely on the back of an excellent start from Carlos Rodón. Rodón held Cleveland to a run on two hits and three walks against seven strikeouts in six innings. That makes it three straight starts by the veteran southpaw of […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays rebound with shutout win

The Yankees dropped the opener of their weekend series against the Red Sox on Friday, losing 5-3 with all of the damage done in three consecutive innings against Ryan Weathers. Spencer Jones went 3-for-3 with an RBI in his return to the team following Judge’s placement on the IL and Ben Rice hit his 18th […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 6/6/26

Didn’t like that Yankees/Red Sox game last night! Bad pitches, defensive sloppiness, and some uncompetitive at-bats to boot, too. And the Yanks still didn’t lose by much because Boston isn’t that good. Annoying! Whatever, on to the next. Today on the site, Kento will muse on the Yankees’ skill and relative luck both helping them […]

Yankees news: The wide-ranging aftershocks of the Aaron Judge injury

ESPN | Jorge Castillo and David Schoenfield: In light of Aaron Judge’s rib fracture, the whole baseball world is now wondering what the captain’s absence will mean for the Yankees. Most immediately, it presses Spencer Jones into duty, but it will also open up ample opportunity for Jasson Domínguez and Giancarlo Stanton once healthy. It places […]

Aaron Judge-less Yankees limp to loss versus Red Sox

While they’ve already played a handful of games without him, Friday night’s game against the Red Sox marked the first one for the Yankees since Aaron Judge was placed on the injured list with a fractured rib. Let’s just say the early returns on the lineup without him weren’t glowing. It won’t go down as […]

New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox: Ryan Weathers vs. Sonny Gray

On Wednesday, the Yankees were dealt a blow when it was announced that Aaron Judge is going to miss 4-6 weeks after suffering a stress fracture in his ribs. While Judge had struggled somewhat before the diagnosis of his injury, which was part of the issue, the Yankees’ lineup was already sputtering a bit. Now, […]

Yankees Mailbag: Trade chips and surprise contenders

Good afternoon everyone, it’s time to dive back into the mailbag and answer some of your questions. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com. The idiot that said, “Harper is coming” asks: Rather than focus on trade acquisition candidates, let’s focus on who might get […]

Finding parallels between baseball and the World Cup

The World Cup is right around the corner, and while baseball teams carry on their business, 48 nations will be traveling about the North American continent, fighting for the ultimate prize in what’s widely regarded as the biggest sporting event in the world. With less than a week to go before the start of this […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Jack Chesbro

To many fans, Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig represent the “beginning” of Yankees history, the first true stars whose performance at the plate kickstarted the first ever Yankees dynasty in the 1920s. But the Yankees did not emerge ex nihil when Ruth joined the team in 1920. Seventeen years prior, a new squad, named the […]
